    2026-07-27 Price Trend Daily Report

    This edition covers five key materials: PTFE, PEEK, carbon fiber, PI film, and specialty ceramic raw materials. Overall, fluoropolymers are climbing on cost push, carbon fiber has begun a bottom reversal after price hikes by Toray and Jilin Chemical Fiber, PEEK continues to face downward pressure from domestic substitution, PI film supply remains tight, and ceramic raw materials are stable.

    Price Overview

    Material Current Price Range WoW Trend
    PTFE resin (suspension) RMB 45k–47k/ton (dispersion ~52k) Firm ↑ Up
    PEEK resin (domestic pure) RMB 200k–500k/ton (imported 800k–1M) Flat → Stable/slightly up
    Carbon fiber (T300 24/25K) RMB 75–90/kg +2%~5% ↑ Bottom reversal
    PI film (electronic grade) RMB 600k–3M/ton (e-film >1M) Firm →↑ Tight supply
    Specialty ceramics (alumina 98.5%) RMB 2,700–2,830/ton (nano Si3N4 powder ~1,000/kg) +0%~2% → Stable, slight rise

    Key Movements

    • PTFE: +30% (high-level volatility within the month). The Chemicalbook price index swung sharply between RMB 30k–48k/ton this month, with Shandong suspension medium-grain quoted at RMB 45,500/ton. The main driver is high-level support from upstream anhydrous hydrofluoric acid and fluorite prices pushing costs up; however, weak downstream demand caps the upside, producing a “cost-push, demand-drag” high-level fluctuation.
    • Carbon fiber: +10%~20% (leaders raise prices). Japan’s Toray raised TORAYCA carbon fiber and prepreg prices by 10%–20% effective January 2026; domestically, Jilin Chemical Fiber raised 12K by RMB 5,000/ton and 3K by RMB 10,000/ton. Combined with low-altitude economy and robotics demand, carbon fiber prices (2024 average ~RMB 85/kg at the bottom) have begun to reverse.
    • PEEK: flat to slightly down. Domestic capacity share rises to ~60% in 2026; expansion by players like Zhongyan keeps domestic prices at about half of imports, pressuring prices long term. Yet robotics and flying-car lightweighting demand support a stable-to-slightly-up short term (annual growth 8%–10%).

    Impact Analysis

    • Procurement cost: The fluoropolymer chain (PTFE) and carbon fiber are the main cost pressure sources this period; procurement budgets should be raised 5%–15%. PEEK and ceramic raw material costs remain controllable.
    • Supply chain: High-end electronic PI film still relies heavily on imports (DuPont, Ube, Kaneka, SKC), posing concentration and supply-disruption risks. Carbon fiber leaders’ price hikes may accelerate domestic substitution and pull orders forward.

    Action Recommendations

    • Lock in prices: Carbon fiber (uptrend confirmed) and PTFE (strong cost support) — recommend signing medium/long-term contracts or stocking up ahead.
    • Wait and see: PEEK (ongoing domestic-substitution price pressure, buy in batches) and alumina ceramic raw materials (stable prices, buy as needed).
    • Watch closely: PI film localization progress and import policy; secure electronic-grade film supplier capacity ahead of time.

  • 2026-07-25 New Materials Price Trend Daily Report

    2026-07-25 New Materials Price Trend Daily Report

    Price Overview

    Material Current Price Range Weekly Change Trend
    PTFE Resin RMB 31,000–55,000/ton (suspension medium ~31,800; dispersion ~52,000) -2% to -3% Declining
    PEEK Resin Domestic RMB 400,000–500,000/ton; imported RMB 800,000–1,000,000/ton +1% Firming up
    Carbon Fiber T300 12K ~RMB 80–95/kg; T700 12K ~RMB 110–120/kg Flat to firm Bottoming out, rebounding
    PI Film Electronic-grade >RMB 1,000,000/ton; overall RMB 600,000–3,000,000/ton Flat Holding high
    Special Ceramic Raw Materials Nano alumina ~RMB 150/kg; nano silicon nitride RMB 1,000–2,000/kg Flat Stable

    Key Movements

    • PTFE Resin: -2% to -3%. The pattern of strong supply and weak demand persists. Continued release of new capacity has led to oversupply, while downstream buyers purchase only on demand amid sluggish trading. Shandong suspension medium-grain quotes have fallen to RMB 31,800/ton, and Luxi Chemical once cut prices to RMB 34,000/ton in May. Although high raw-material costs (fluorite, anhydrous hydrofluoric acid) provide support, they cannot offset weak demand, keeping the market soft.
    • Carbon Fiber: Bottoming out and rebounding. This is the most notable signal of the period. After industry-wide losses in 2024 (average gross margin around -20%), Toray raised prices for its TORAYCA-brand carbon fiber and intermediate products by 10%–20% effective January 2026; domestic leader Jilin Chemical Fiber simultaneously raised wet-process 12K and 3K carbon fiber by RMB 5,000–10,000/ton. High-end grades of T700 and above remain in short supply, confirming a bottoming recovery trend.

    Impact Analysis

    • Crude oil / raw material prices: Costs of carbon fiber precursor (acrylonitrile) and PTFE feedstock (fluorite, hydrofluoric acid) remain high, providing a price floor; rising energy and logistics costs were the core reason for Toray’s price hike.
    • Supply tightness: High-end carbon fiber grades and electronic-grade PI film still rely on imports, with highly concentrated supply (PI film dominated by DuPont, Ube, Kaneka, SK), a structural reason for firm prices.
    • Demand growth: Robotics, low-altitude economy (flying cars), 5G communications, flexible electronics, and new energy continue to drive high-end demand for PEEK, PI film, and carbon fiber; meanwhile, traditional downstream demand for PTFE has yet to recover.

    Impact on Procurement Cost and Supply Chain

    • Carbon fiber procurement costs are entering an upward channel; full-year budgets should be revised upward, and delivery lead times for high-end grades risk lengthening.
    • PTFE procurement costs are declining in the short term, offering a cost-reduction window for downstream users.
    • PEEK and PI film prices remain rigidly high with concentrated supply chains; guard against single-supplier disruption risk.

    Action Recommendations

    • Recommend locking in prices: Carbon fiber (especially high-end T700 and above grades) — upward trend; lock in volume and price in advance and develop a second supply source.
    • Recommend wait-and-see / staggered purchasing: PTFE resin — oversupplied and soft; defer purchases and restock in small batches on demand, waiting for lower points.
    • Recommend maintaining long-term contracts: PEEK and PI film — rigidly high prices and concentrated supply; maintain long-term agreements to secure supply, and closely track domestic substitution progress for cost savings.
    • Maintain stable procurement: Special ceramic raw materials — stable prices; continue purchasing at the current pace.

  • Advanced Materials Price Trend Daily — July 24, 2026: Carbon Fiber Enters Hike Cycle

    Price Trend Daily Report — July 24, 2026

    Key takeaway: Carbon fiber has entered a price-hike cycle driven by surging acrylonitrile (AN) feedstock costs — the top item to watch this week. PTFE and technical ceramic raw materials remain weak-but-stable; PEEK and PI film prices are flat with notable structural divergence.

    Price Overview

    Material Current Price Range WoW Change Trend
    PTFE resin (suspension, medium granule) RMB 30,000–35,000/t (latest quote 31,800/t) ≈0% Stable to soft
    PEEK resin Domestic neat resin RMB 200,000–400,000/t; imported RMB 800,000–1,500,000/t 0% Stable
    Carbon fiber T300(12K) RMB 90/kg; T300(24/25K) RMB 80/kg; T700(12K) RMB 140/kg +3–4% (24/25K & 48/50K tows) Rising
    PI film Electronic grade RMB 600k–3M/t; standard insulation film RMB 20–50/m² 0% Stable (high-end tight)
    Technical ceramic raw materials SiC 98-grade lump RMB 5,700/t; Si3N4 powder RMB 150–350/kg 0% Weak but stable

    Key Movements

    • Carbon fiber: large-tow grades +3–4%. T300(24/25K) and T300(48/50K) each rose RMB 3/kg this week. The core driver is persistently rising acrylonitrile prices — supply cuts in North America and the Middle East combined with resilient demand from ABS and carbon fiber in China. Jilin Chemical Fiber has announced price increases across its carbon fiber product lines. Although industry inventory remains elevated (~15,700 t), cost-push price hikes are now an established trend.
    • PTFE: consolidating sideways. Latest Shandong quote for suspension medium-granule resin is RMB 31,800/t, with the 30-day range narrowing within RMB 30,000–48,000/t. Downstream offtake is moderate; environmental production curbs provide a supply-side floor. Short-term outlook: stable.
    • PEEK: flat quotes, domestic substitution capping upside. Imported grades (Victrex, Solvay) hold at RMB 800–1,500/kg; domestic grades at RMB 200–400/kg. Lightweighting demand from robotics and eVTOL is growing ~8–10% per year, but capacity expansion by domestic producers offsets upward price momentum.

    Impact Analysis

    • Procurement costs: Carbon fiber cost pressure is likely to persist — the AN rally is hard to break near term. Composite, wind-blade and sporting-goods manufacturers should expect Q3 procurement costs to rise 3–8%. PTFE and ceramic raw materials remain buyer-friendly.
    • Supply chain: High-end PI film (electronic grade, flexible display) remains heavily import-dependent (DuPont, UBE, Kaneka, SK), with highly concentrated supply. Disruption risk outweighs price risk under geopolitical or trade friction; dual sourcing is advised for critical programs.

    Action Recommendations

    • Lock in prices: Carbon fiber (especially T300 large-tow and T700). Leading producers have initiated hikes, and once AN inventory buffers (only 3–4 months at some producers) are depleted, a second round of increases is possible. Recommend securing Q3–Q4 long-term contracts.
    • Wait and see: PTFE and technical ceramic raw materials — weak supply and demand, bottom-range consolidation. Buy as needed; no need to pre-stock.
    • Watch: Domestic PEEK substitution opportunities as local prices trend down; qualification testing of domestic high-end PI film suppliers (e.g., Rayitek, Goldenmax).

  • Advanced Materials Keyword Trends Daily (2026-07-24): PEEK Robotics Theme Leads, Carbon Fiber Price Hike Effect Continues

    Key Takeaways

    • PEEK: Driven by humanoid robot volume expectations, search interest stays at highs. PEEK offers 8x the specific strength of aluminum alloy at half the density; humanoid robot shipments are projected to grow at ~83% CAGR from 2024-2030 (Omdia) – the strongest demand narrative in advanced materials right now.
    • Carbon Fiber: Toray raised TORAYCA carbon fiber and prepreg prices by 10-20% starting January 2026. The price-hike effect is propagating downstream, and combined queries like “carbon fiber + low-altitude economy / wind power / robotics” are trending up.
    • Electronic Chemicals: Wet electronic chemicals capacity expansion continues (Crystal Clear Electronic, Jianghua Micro, Grandit and others announcing fundraising projects); domestic substitution remains the core logic. China’s market is expected to exceed RMB 20 billion by 2027.
    • Aerogel: Global market projected at ~8.6% CAGR over the next six years, driven mainly by construction and EV battery thermal insulation.
    • PTFE: PFAS regulatory pressure persists (3M exiting PFAS products). Keywords like “PTFE alternative” and “PFAS compliance” show low competition with clear intent – a content opportunity window.
    • Advanced Ceramics: Steady demand growth from semiconductor equipment and aerospace; export-oriented content targeting Southeast Asia and India deserves more investment.

    Trend Interpretation

    1. The robotics materials chain is the strongest traffic gateway. PEEK, carbon fiber and advanced ceramics can all hook into the humanoid robot narrative; explicitly bind “robot” scenario terms in titles to capture incremental traffic.

    2. Price-hike cycles create procurement-side search demand. After Toray’s price increase, overseas buyers show clear intent searching for Chinese carbon fiber alternative suppliers – a B2B lead-gen window expected to last 2-3 quarters.

    3. Compliance long-tail keywords offer the best ROI. PFAS-related terms have low competition and sit close to purchasing decisions – deploy quickly.

    Today’s Action Items

    1. Produce an in-depth article this week: “PEEK Machining Essentials for Robot Joint Components” (bilingual CN/EN).
    2. Build an English landing page: “Chinese Carbon Fiber Supplier Comparison” responding to Toray’s price hike.
    3. Launch a PFAS compliance series covering search intent of PTFE downstream application customers.
